In a short statement issued Tuesday, CEO Oscar Munoz acknowledged that the incident was "horrific" and provoked "outrage, anger, disappointment." 。

"Like you, I continue to be disturbed by what happened on this flight and I deeply apologize to the customer forcibly removed and to all the customers aboard," he said in a new statement on Tuesday afternoon. "No one should ever be mistreated this way."。

Here is the apology in full: 。

This apology comes a day after an initial attempt, in which Munoz said he was sorry that his company had to "re-accommodate" passengers. That choice of language didn't go down too well online.。

Perhaps Munoz finally decided that a stronger apology was in order. Or perhaps you are someone who believes the world is a soulless place guided only by the scent of freshly minted money. 。

The apology does seem to have come after United's stock -- ahem -- crashed. Do with that what you will. 。

Munoz said United will review several policies including how they interact with law enforcement and their overbooking policy. The results of that review will be made available on April 30.。
